By Saheed Afolabi

Nigeria forward, Samuel Chukwueze was handed his debut as AC Milan defeated Bologna 2-0 at the Stadio Renato Dall’Ara.

Chukwueze came off the bench in the 74th minute to replace fellow summer signing and debutant, Christian Pulisic.

11 minutes in the game, French forward, Olivier Giroud found the back of the net following some exciting buildup play from Tijani Rejinders and Pulisic.

Ten minutes later, Pulisic received an assist from Giroud to power home the second goal of the game in style.

Super Eagles tricky winger Chukwueze didn’t contribute much to the game after his introduction but he was crucial to his side defending their lead.

Chukwueze had a stellar performance for Villarreal last season which includes his famous brace against Real Madrid.

AC Milan will welcome Torino to the 80,000 capacity San Siro stadium on Saturday August 26.
